What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 21, 2026

These sewing machine needles have a small notch cut into the side near the point, so you can press the thread into the eye from the side instead of poking it through the tiny opening. That helps if low vision or limited hand control makes threading a needle frustrating. The pack holds 5 size 90 needles, a size meant for heavier fabrics. They are made to fit sewing machines built in roughly the last 15 to 20 years, so check that your machine is in that range before ordering.
